Earth Hour is an opportunity for citizens to do something positive for the environment by taking steps to save energy for one hour. Mayor Will Sessoms wrote a proclamation stating the city’s “committed to actively engaging the community to promote and encourage environmental sustainability efforts.”

Earth Hour will take place from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Armada Hoffler Tower at Town Center, Atrium Resort, Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Crocs, ODU Virginia Beach Campus and the City Seal at Mt. Trashmore Park are just a few participants in the initiative.
